2.2.2Pre-Installation Tips

2.2.2.1Installation Checklist

Install your IMACS-200 in the following sequence:

1.Choose a suitable location for the system, as described in this chapter.

2.Unpack and inspect the equipment for damage.

3.Mount the chassis on the desired surface (rack, tabletop, or wall).

4.Install the chassis ground connections.

5.Verify the voltage ratings of all power supplies in the chassis.

6.Verify the fuse ratings of the source power supply.

7.Apply power to the system and verify the power LED states.

After successfully installing the system, configure the system for operation as follows:

1.Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the Interface port.

2.Log into the system.

3.Set the Alarm Filters.

4.Configure the CPU interface along with the ethernet port if desired.

5.Configure the Voice ports.

6.Configure the Data ports.

7.Configure the WAN ports.

8.Configure all other ports.

2.2.3Choosing a Location for Your System

The IMACS-200 requires a reasonably dust-free, static-free operating environment. Adequate ventilation is also required at the site. Do not install the chassis in direct sunlight, which may increase the system’s operating temperature and affect its operation.

Most of the system plug-in ports have highly sensitive components that could be damaged by static electricity. Whenever you handle any system ports, be sure to observe local electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.

The system chassis can be installed on an 19-inch or 23-inch equipment rack, or placed on a tabletop or other level surface. First though, make sure the desired surface can support the weight of a chassis.
